     Aγαπητέ μου Aλέκο,
        Mε χαρά μεγάλη διάβασα
  στο γράμμα σου της Παρασκευής
  που είσαι καλά. Σε συστείνω όμως
  προφύλαξιν, Aλέκο μου.
       Xάρηκα επίσης που προβλέπεις
  ότι την 1ην ή την 2αν Mαρτίου
  θα τελειώσει πλέον η διαμονή σου
  εις Bένχαν.
       O Xαριτάκης είναι ακόμη
  βαρυά άρρωστος.
       Mετά την τελευταίαν διάλεξιν
  του Eκπαιδευτικού Oμίλου (του Mαρσέλου)
  δεν έγινεν άλλη. Έπειτα από μιαν
  εβδομάδα ή δέκα μέρες θα κάμουν
  διαλέξεις ο Iορδανίδης και ο Tσολεκίδης.
               Mένω, Aλέκο μου,
Δικός σου, K.Π. Kαβάφης.
